It's funny how those unexpected encounters in games can sometimes lead to surprising outcomes. In "Red Dead Redemption 2", helping NPCs can often result in rewarding experiences or unforeseen twists, much like your encounter with the woman in GTA V. For example, sometimes peoples acts as weak and beg to help them and when I stop to help them, I found they're robbers.
It's all part of the dynamic and immersive world that Rockstar Games creates. I'm glad you enjoyed the screenshots, especially the snake encounter. There's always something exciting waiting around every corner in this game.
